The end to the seemingly eternal Kevin Durant trade request saga finally arrived with the star forward electing to patch things up with the Brooklyn Nets’ front office. The decision’s fallout will affect the rest of the league (notably the Boston Celtics) though differently than if the Nets star had been dealt.
With KD staying in the NBA’s Eastern Conference and on the same team, potentially tectonic power shifts are delayed, and we have a clearer picture of the likely contending teams in both conferences.
So, which teams will benefit from the Brooklyn star remaining with the Nets? What franchises are going to suffer more? In short, who are the winners and losers from this reconciliation?
The hosts of the “Locked On NBA” podcast recently sat down to hash that out, so be sure to take a look at the clip embedded above to hear their assessment of the lay of the league post KD returning to Brooklyn.
